Megan + Ryan | Tulum Mexico Destination Wedding

I am thrilled to share with you Megan and Ryan’s wedding in Tulum. I met them through my Crossfit gym Megan and I have been working out together for a few years now.

They decided on a destination wedding and it could not have been more perfect. The location, the weather, all the details. Los Lirios was the setting of their vows, a beautiful beachfront resort. Around 50 of their closest friends and family joined the celebration. Their were heartfelt toasts, tequila, a churro cart at the end of the night and just one heck of a party. I am so happy for the both of them and grateful for an amazing opportunity to photograph in this beautiful part of the world.

Michael + Allison | Greensboro Wedding

I have known Michael since our high school days at Northwest Guilford. College went by and a few years later we ran into each other at a crossfit class at College Hill. I remember seeing him walk in and immediately recognized him. We have been crossfitting together for a little over 4 years now, just about every day at noon. I met Allison and knew immediately she was a perfect fit for him. She’s caring, witty, and hilarious. Allison planned the wedding over the last several months all while Michael was campaigning for a NC senate seat. She did an amazing job. The wedding took place at the historic Julian Price House in Fisher Park, Greensboro. This was the first wedding the house has hosted. Michael and Allison chose a 5:00 ceremony, so we did a first look and took care of all their portraits pre-ceremony in order to have daylight images. These 2 were so natural in front of the camera. They couldn’t keep from smiling at each other. Their laughter and love contagious. The ceremony took place outside under a white tent where Michael and Allison were surrounded by their closest friends and family. Vintage love seats and chairs from The Prettiest Pieces were a nice touch for the guests to sit comfortably during the ceremony while they sipped champagne. Maria’s served a fabulous dinner inside the house. Heartfelt toasts were given and first dances shared. The party went well into the night back under the tent. I have had a friend in Michael for many years, and I am so happy that he has brought Allison into my life. I can’t wait to see what life has in store for these 2, their son Jack, and watch all the good Michael does for our state. Congratulations to both of you and a lifetime of laughs and happiness! Cheers!

Brandon + Lizzie | Engagement Session

One of my favorite couples from 2018, Brandon + Lizzie! I met these 2 at my gym, College Hill Crossfit and was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their wedding at the beautiful Barclay Villa. They have since moved to Raleigh and I miss seeing them around the gym. Their wedding will be featured on the blog soon, but until then enjoy a few from their engagement session!

Kristen & Nielson | Revolution Mill Wedding

Kristen & Nielson's wedding has become one of my favorites! Kristen was detail oriented and so organized that her wedding was like a dream. Amanda with A Touch of Southern Events kept the reception running smoothly. She is always so great to work with! I first met Kristen & Nielson last summer and over the course of the last year we did 2 engagement sessions. We got to know each other pretty well and the day of the wedding was just like hanging out with friends. Their wedding party was a blast as well. Revolution Mill served as the reception venue and what a party they had. I'm so jealous of people that can 'shag.' I keep saying I'm going to learn... guess I should get on that! But dare I say that the majority of the guests as well as the bride and groom knew how and it was entertaining to watch and photograph. Soul Jam kept the party going with live covers of some great music. What a wedding this was! Enjoy a few favorites from their day.

Brittany + Billy | Summerfield, NC Wedding

Brittany and Billy's wedding was special. They decided to have a small ceremony in a field across from his parents home, on a Thursday afternoon. Close family and friends came for the celebration. Short, simple and absolutely perfect. This wedding was all about them and their love.
